Have got half way through ‘Man with a Blue Scarf’…a book written by Martin Gayford. Martin Gayford sat as a ‘sitter’ for Lucian Freud for a year and some… ‘Man with a Blue Scarf is a book written by Gayford on his experience. I like Freud’s quote: ‘ a painting in order to move us must never merely remind us of life, but acquire a life of its own, precisely in order to reflect life’ I am going round my parents tomorrow to take photographs of my dad. He has had major heart surgery and also recently broken his back!! He has experienced great pain and this is reflected in his face. He is now at home recovering and is happy for me to paint him.
